Original

JavaMod - a java based multimedia player for Protracker, Fast Tracker, Impulse Tracker, Scream Tracker and other mod files plus SID, MP3, WAV, OGG, APE, FLAC, MIDI, AdLib ROL-Files (OPL), ... See the supported file types for a complete list.

This is the original JavaMod project from Daniel "Quippy" Becker.

Download the JAR or the source code and compile for yourself. A double click on the jar-file should start it. If not, to manually start the player in GUI mode open a command line (CMD or Shell) and enter: java -jar ./javamod.jar To start the command line version enter: java -cp ./javamod.jar de.quippy.javamod.main.CommandLine MODFILE Without any parameters you will receive a help screen.

On Linux consider starting with OpenGL render pipeline activated: java -Dsun.java2d.opengl=true -jar ./javamod.jar

Remarks to 3.9.x version updates

With JavaMod versions 4.0 to 5.0 I want to integrate Midi and AdLib support. However, before starting that I want to have all test mods of Schism and Open ModPlug Tracker to work. We finished MOD, XM, STM and S3M with this version and a whole lot of other stuff as well. So I decided to release new versions with minor version number updates to have you participate in these changes!

Third-party libraries

JavaMod incorporates modified versions of the following libraries:

• jflac (http://jflac.sourceforge.net/)
• jlayer (https://github.com/wkpark/JLayer (was http://www.javazoom.net/javalayer/javalayer.html))
• jmac (http://jmac.sourceforge.net/)
• jorbis (http://www.jcraft.com/jorbis/)

Known issues:

• With PulseAudio:
  • gapless audio streams do not work if SourceLine Buffers drain out
  • scrambled sound (especially with PipeWire)
• With KDE:
  • JDialogs, when set visible, will not come to front
• Tray Icon: mouse wheel (volume control) & keyboard shortcuts do not work

Planned:

• finish loading of OMPT extended instrument / song data / mixer data
• reading at least Midi Config with XMs / ITs
• VSTiVolume, SamplePreAmp, MixLevels - look, what OMPT has to say
• check for further missing MPTM Effects like Reverb and Surround commands
• optimize recognition of different trackers - for whatever that is worth it
• Quad Speaker mixing (rear speakers)
• • LongList:
  • Midi and AdLib/OPL with Mods
  • WavPack and MusePack support
  • MO3 support
  • read from 7z archives
